Putin: Western MSM: Of course, Julia Ioffe is a Jewish ultranationalist who believes that simply talking about Russians' contributions to victory in WW2 is anti-Semitic: But pointing out context like this is why I, too, am an anti-Semite.

There's nothing particularly new or interesting per se in the 37 page indictment of 13 Russian nationals, including its head Evgeny Prigozhin, for "meddling" in the US elections through online trolling. The existence of the Internet Research Agency - or "Olgino", as it is known in Russia, after the location of the first "troll factory"... Read More

The Treasury has come out with its list of 210 Russian oligarchs and politicians, ostensibly in preparation for targeted sanctions. It's a pretty hilarious affair, basically a copy-paste job from the Forbes list of Russian billionaires and a page listing biographies at government.ru . If I wanted to try to split the Russian elite, I... Read More

Some numbers: There are about 300,000 babies born to foreign citizens in the US every year, of which the vast majority will be accruing to Central American illegals. Only an estimated 40,000 occurs due to birth tourism. There are no hard statistics on this. However, some cursory searching gave me this thesis by Brandon J.... Read More

It will be the centenary of the October Revolution in a couple of days - the original color revolution that finished off a great and rapidly modernizing empire and handed power to a gang of Russia-hating criminals. To mark the occasion, the next two weeks I will be documenting the dismal failure of sovok across... Read More

I am a blogger, thinker, and businessman in the SF Bay Area. I’m originally from Russia, spent many years in Britain, and studied at U.C. Berkeley.

One of my tenets is that ideologies tend to suck. As such, I hesitate about attaching labels to myself. That said, if it’s really necessary, I suppose “liberal-conservative neoreactionary” would be close enough.

Though I consider myself part of the Orthodox Church, my philosophy and spiritual views are more influenced by digital physics, Gnosticism, and Russian cosmism than anything specifically Judeo-Christian.

Blogroll

This is not so much meant to be comprehensive as to illustrate the themes and individual thinkers whom I follow and am inspired by.

I do not bother including any MSM outlets, since I’m sure they can do just fine without my publicity.

Blogs which I consider to be particularly good and/or prominent are highlighted in bold, and blogs that appear to have gone dormant appear at the end in italics. While I try to keep these things objective, if you include me in your blogroll that does vastly increase the chances that I’ll reciprocate.

1: Economic/political situation continues to deteriorate
It's improving, not deteriorating.
2: Fascists will demand an ever increasing share of power, leading to a breackup with the Oligarchs.
They are marginal.
First, I think Putins team massively overestimated how annoying the Fas...

Only 1 southern state*
It was anglo niggers who tried to expand the dravidian identity many 1000s km north to cover 4 states।।
Languages like Telugu have many many Sanskrit words & identify as the North they are 'Sanskritized' even the Tamil Dravidas were but British missionary work...

Equality of law in unequal world is stupidity।।
Men of higher Varna must be punished more frequently & severely।।
They must also be able to pursue their Dharma though, especially Ksytrias who will rebel until they rule।।

Anglo-Americans are the only monolingual group of people. They boasted how English has conquered the world, how everybody speaks now English. They did not realize what people told them. Everybody speaks English, but they speak other languages too. Many are multilingual as a matter of fact, which ...

Here is my own assessment on why Putin did not invade in 2014:
Snipergate.
I think Putin perceives his path to victory like this:
1: Economic/political situation continues to deteriorate
2: Fascists will demand an ever increasing share of power, leading to a breackup with the Oligarchs.

But Prometheus does not break any 'natural bounds' (probably you wanted to say bondage). He steals the fire from the heavens to bring it down to earth to serve even more 'natural bounds'. He didn't help man to free himself from the natural bondage (that's what religion does), but bonded it more '...

Pretty good predictions.
I read in some comment somewhere that Grudinin had promised to shave off his mustache if he didn't get (some percentage that I don't recall but that's higher than what he got).

But don't you follow it right now with all your public wanking 'pride parades'? And when you will get rid of Christianity you will have the Muslims buggering you to your ass content, you 'man' (white, I suppose).

That some Scots don’t know or regularly speak their native Gaelic language is indicative of Anglicization.
Some Scots?In the 2011 census of Scotland, 57,375 people (1.1% of the Scottish population aged over three years old) reported as able to speak Gaelic, 1,275 fewer than in 2001. The high...

Lowland Scots have never had Gaelic as their native language, they spoke a dialect of English. Lowland Scots are also seen as a Germanic people, sharing common ancestry with northern English.
Anyway I see Ukraine as comparable to Ireland. Russia has carved out their six counties with Crimea an...

what does any of that have to do with Israel attacking Hezbollah?
I don't see the US giving the Kurdish regions back to Assad but I really don't care about it beyond trolling Russophiles.
The bottom line is that Israel isn't attacking Hezbollah not because it can't or because it is afraid b...

The problem with democracy is that it isn't very democratic in practice.
I have thought a lot about this topic and here is my proposal for how to bring real democracy to the US:
1. Scrap the Presidency and the Senate.
2. Eliminate the ability of the Supreme Court and the judiciary to nul...

Look: we actually know Putin's personal views on politics.
He is a classical liberal -- meaning, he believes in private enterprise, small government, representative democracy, free trade within reasonable bounds and national borders without racialism.
His hobby is environmentalism. (The Joh...
